All alliances allow redemption through one member for travel on all airlines in the same alliance. This means that Membership Rewards points can be redeemed for travel on most major airlines, but that is not the same as being able to transfer to all airlines. Understanding the alliance system and other partner reward options is essential to extracting full value from any frequent flyer program.

In the USA program Membership Rewards points must be transferred in multiples of 1,000 points.
Thanks for correcting my statement.. It would be a miracle if a program to cover every point loyalty program would exist.
